to Helena failed to elicit any information
on the subject and not until the eastern
papers arrived on Saturday was the news
verified. The fire starting in Armour's
new beef house at the stock yards caused
loss of nearly $500 900, to offset which
there is an insurance of Sl95,O0O. The
beef house was cheap two-story and
basement frame structure, and covered
nearly an entire square. The basement
contained about 25OO0 hides. On the
first floor were between three and foui
thousand dressed cattle and over 1,00(

500 dressed sheep and 100 hogs. The

A Kicker Kicked.

Captain Moses Harris acting superin-

charges made by Shively, of Braineri

burglars in the hotel at the Park; that
he had been charged extraordinary rates
by the stage drivers and that the people
were knocking down Rocky Mountain
sheep with clubs as they stuck in the
snow. Harris says: ''shively, who is

them at bay with revolver and chail

BARRETT'S TENTED ATTRACTIONS
VIII Soon Materlallze Here! Notably
Strengthened and Perfected.

S. II. Barrett, whose fam, Us rec
reative purveyor is as wide as the con.
tinent itself, has perfected all the neces.
sary arrangements for the appearances Of
his imposing circus, menagerie, hippod-
rome, and "Wild West" aggregation in
Bozeman, Friday, Aug. 10. Barrett will
be warmly welcomed here, as his show
is one Of the standard amusement i'll
stitutions of the country, and is particul
arly popular.
Many striking, unique and elaborate
improvements have been made to this
ever progressive show, so that now it
is decided and pleasing departure from
the conventional circus. Two hundred
noted acrobatic, gymnic and equestrian
artists disport themselves in three rings
and on one large central stage; forty
English and Kentucky thoroughbreds,
ridden and driven by professional jockeys
and drivers, contest for supremacy on
an enormous track that encircles the
rings and stage, and a combination of
scouts, cowboys, and Indians present ex-
citing representations of life in the ro
mantle west. To this notable array
of attractions is supplemented the
stirring feats of Donald Mckenzie's
troup of Scotch athletes and broad
sword combatants; the amazing per.
formances of company of Japanese
jugglers, rope walkers and wrestlers; and
the remarkable exploits of Nubar Has
sans Soudanese Arabs. The meragerie,
museum, aviary and aquarium depart
ments are unusually rich in rare, costly
and interesting specimens, and will
doubtless attract no little attention here.
One of Barrett's leading reinforcemcnts
is tine renowned dog-ftced Russian boy,
"Jo-Jo," who has proved such study to
the scientific world. "Jo-Jo's" head,
face and neck are entirely covered with
thick, silky hair, and in all respects his
resemblance to sky terrier is wonder.
fully complete. lie is ward of the
Russian Government and it was only by
the display of consummate diplomacy
and the guaranteeing of a large salary
that Barrett was able to secure the
prodigy.
